Tko Statesm lSoieinOrw7on; FrldcrvF bruary. 18 1851 Molotov Leads : Group To Mark Anniversary Of Russ-Ghina Pact MOSCOW, Feb. 15 -VP)- First Deputy Prime Minister V. M Molotov headed a big group of distinguished Soviet leaders pre sent at reception given by the Chinese embassy last night to mark, the first anniversary of the Soviet-Chinese treaty. Molotov led a toast to the Chin ese army and the Soviet army and - to Mao Tze-Tung, head of the central people's government of the People's Republic or China, ana Chu Teh, Mao's army commander in chief. Soviet Foreign' Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky led a toast to the "Korean people's . liberation army" and all nations "following in the historic path! which has been pointed out by the U. 5. S. K. Soviet press accounts said today. Among those' present was the Soviet defense minister, Marshal N. A. Bulganin. Chinese Charge '"fc-D Affaires Chen Yun-Chuan was the host at the party, held at the Hotel MetroDOle. Chen -said in speech the Chinese people would .-stand firm against American ex pression." adding that he -consid ered "the friendship of 700,000,000 people" a vital factor for peace. : Moscow dispatches, plus a strange factor in Peiping propa ganda, indicate the possibility Mao may be in the Soviet capital or on his way there lor a major pow wow. ' There were two important par ties in Peiping to mark yesterday's anniversary. One was sponsored by the Red Chinese government, the other by the Soviet embassy, Peiping broadcasts listed party leaders who were present. In nei ther case was Mao listed. He does not always attend such functions, but an affair like the celebration of the treaty signing would not be the sort he would ordinarily miss. He attended the celebration of Indian National day in Peiping Jan. 26 the last reference, in cidentally, to his presence in Peip ing. The treaty celebration parties would far outrank the Indian one In importance. a One dispatch from Moscow told of Soviet press reports of the two Peiping anniversary parties. The Soviet press pointed out to its readers that Mao was not present t either meeting. With the U. S. S. R. play more on the theme of American re militarization of Japan and "Jap anese imperialism," there would be every reason to suspect that Mao and the Moscow politburo would get together for a council of war. The treaty the parties celebrated singles out Japan, pledging the Soviet Union to go to Red Chinas aid in the event of an attack by the Japanese or any nation "al lied" with them. Moscow propa ganda has been doing all in its power to convince its hearers that the U. S. and Japan are today. In fact, military allies. Waether the Soviet Union Is prepared to tip the scales in favor of World War III in the east now is, of course, a matter for con jecture. The betting is against it. But at the same time, the very menace of the situation as it stands would be reason enough to. call Mao to Moscow if just for or ders.

Store, Scene Of Gun Battle, Needs Repairs -.WALLACE, Idaho, Feb.: 15-(P-The Wallace Sapply ; store, center of yesterday's wild i main street gun battle that left two dead and two wounded, was "closed for re pairs" today. As employees swept up broken glass and removed bullet-riddled rolls of lineolum, police worked on a possible motive for the pre dawn shooting spree of John Stod dard, a 48-year-old transient re membered by his former landlady as "quite and sober, respectful 'and respectable." Police Chief Hugo Marconi sug gested that Stoddard broke into the hardware store In the early morning darkness to steal a gun and ammunition, accidentally dis charged the rifle, became startled and began firing into the street. Gordon Hailstone, 33, a miner, was hit and killed. Robert Allen, a hotel manager, and Willis Malt land, 49, another miner, were wounded as they ran toward the store. After several hours of police machine gun bullets and tear gas bombs, officers went in and took Stoddard, fatally wounded. He died an hour later, a stranger in town. The story came as a shock to one of his friends, Mrs, H. E. Lina- weaver, proprietor of a small Oakland, Calif., hotel where Stod dard had lived off l and i on for years. j I He had worked as a dish washer In Oakland and Mrs. Linaweaver recalled he was "dependable and sober" and that often was left In charge of the small waterfront hotel when the Lina weavers were away. I Police records, however, showed Stoddard had been around con siderably, but without getting into serious trouble. He had been ar rested at various points as a vag rant or transient.

Eliot's powerful, poetic dra ma "Murder in the Cathedral" was presented to an audience with varying degrees of reaction Thursday night. The theme of 'Murder is the struggle between church and state, and the theme takes precedence over the plot. As the Archbishop Tho mas returns from a seven-year exile in France, he is beset by four temDters who plead for him to f ol low lines of Rule Over Men, Old Friends, Loyal Englishman, and Personal Desire. Personal Desire wins out. as Thomas chooses the way of martyrdom to "win a last ing glory." . . m Each actor kept in the mooa oi the play; : each seemingly thor oughly absorbed in getting his particular lines across. Chorus leaders, Shirley Clifford and Shir ley Dean, showed exceptional abil ity. The four laugbts lea Dy Jim Hitrhman. were at ease and con vincing; the entire theme carried through by their unconventional approach to the audience after the murder of the archbishop. "We want vou to know we were total ly disinterested, nothing to gain bv our act. says one. J.ne auai- pnrp was convinced. Dr. George Hocking, portraying the Saint and Archbishop, some times halting in speech, present ing a different interpretation of Thomas than might have been ex rjected. Special commenaauon snouia bo to Margaret Conklin as the tempter of Personal Desires. Her performance showed much thought, and was tne most cieariy understood of all the parts. The setting was simple and well executed, and lighting, effected by Bob Kaplan, provided unusual groupings and shadows. White and blue lights were used until the murder scene, when red lights dominated. The chorus, though ever in the background, is always sharply accentuated. It will be presented again to night in the Parnsh junior high school auditorium.
